Relax and visualize. Calm yourself down.
Take a deep breath.
As you exhale, imagine all those bottled-up fury come out of your nose
and mouth. Release it and be free. Repeat this step over and over until
you feel peace inside. Then visualize being in a place where you feel
most happy, calm, and relaxed. It may be a place like a beach, garden,
scenic locations, or anywhere else you might think of. Just imagine
being there and inhaling the essence of your serene environment. By
doing this, you will not find it hard to attain inner peace. Pour out
your anger to safe outlets. You had a big quarrel with your former
friend. He betrayed your trust. You want vengeance and you're raving
mad. Hold it. Restrain yourself.
Try your best to get away from him as far
as you can. You don't want to hurt anyone. Anger can possess your brain
into doing something that you wouldn't dare do before. How do you then
release your anger if you can't restrict it anymore? Buy a punching bag,
then pour out all your rage in it. Punch it, kick it, strangle it.
Imagine the punching bag is your enemy. When you're done, you will feel
a sense of satisfaction. You may even punch and kick through thin air if
you desire. Another way to release it is "SHOUT!" Find a distant place
where you can be alone - a place where no one can hear you.
At the top of your voice, yell out loud "Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh."
You can choose any word you like as long as you release all those angry
demons out of your chest. Forgive and forget. Nothing could ease your
mental and emotional pains better than by forgiving someone that has
hurt you in the past. It is very unhealthy to burden yourself with
unnecessary torture brought about by unpleasant memories of other
people's demeaning acts. Moreover, if they have taken something
important away from you, would it make sense to also sacrifice your
health and lifestyle? Of course not. Exercise.
Engaging in exercises increases your
endorphins. Your angry mood could miraculously change to a happy one if
you get involved in exercises that you enjoy doing. Have a circle of
"sponge" friends. Do you feel relieved when you voice out all your
problems to close friends and relatives? That's the power of voicing out
your inner feelings. Always have someone to talk to when you're down,
when you're depressed, when you're mad, or in any other occasion when
you feel you have to get the thorns out of your chest.
Listen to soothing music. It calms your
soul. A 20 minute session of listening to relaxing music while resting
comfortably could soothe the upset spirit. Take deep breaths often.
Pray. Deadly consequences arise when people could not hold back their
fury. Ask for guidance that you will be able to control your temper.
Prayers bring inner peace to those who ask for it. One of the causes of
the Anger is the result of not enough
self-confidence.
